Hamilton's Cycling Master Plan has Council approval. However, the implementation timeline is very long and ward councillors can block individual bike lane projects. Do you support accelerating the completion of a continuous bicycle network and other initiatives like a bike sharing program and better access up and down the Escarpment? Why or why not?

| Chartrand, Ken | Yes | I do support this initiative. I feel it is a positive move forward for the citizens of our city. I support accelerating as long as funding is available and as long as it is not a tax burden on the city or Ward 11. |
| Johnson, Brenda | Yes | Our bike and hiking trails are the gems of this city. I believe there should be more public input in this process especially in Ward 11. I was in Montreal at the MOST (Moving on to Sustainable Transportation) workshop and heard about the bike sharing program. I understand that this program is sustainable and is very cost effective and also does not cost the taxpayers anything to operate. |
| Mitchell, David | Maybe | Bike Lanes are an important part of Hamilton's Development. It does need to be done safely for both bike riders, pedestrians, runners and vehicles so no one gets hurt or is given a false sense of security. Hamilton needs to be planned and managed differently depending on geographical districts and the needs of the different communities. One size will not fit all. |
